Need something this summer to electrify those tastebuds? Then look no further than Crisfield as they put on their 39th Annual J. Millard Tawes Crab and Clam Bake.

According to Crisfield Chamber of Commerce's Valerie Howard, the crab and clam bake on July 15 is a second to none event.

"Eating seafood, picking crabs, drinking beer and all waterside – it's the only way to go," she said. "This is the largest seafood festival in Maryland, you can't beat it."

The event is a great fundraiser for the Crisfield Chamber and all the proceeds go straight into the local area and community. The feast also helps boost the local economy as many visitors utilize Crisfield's many lodging, eatery and shopping industries.

This year, Crisfield is expecting nearly 4,500 people to attend from places all over the country. Visitors from Virginia, Delaware, New Jersey, New York, Pennsylvania, West Virginia and the Carolinas are expected to show up. Howard said that she even has orders this year from as far as Tennessee and Arizona.

"(The event) helps bring people to the Eastern Shore of Maryland and to Crisfield," Howard said. "We love for everyone to come and enjoy it and see our beautiful area."

A waterfront feast with great seafood and cold beer wouldn't be complete without some tunes. That's why this year the Chamber has gotten two DJs to play on each end of the grounds where the event will be held.

With Crisfield already having tasty seafood, the town has also produced a former Maryland governor known as J. Millard Tawes.

"He gave us his blessing to name (the event) after him – and we've been going strong every since," Howard said. "Come for the great seafood and to come enjoy Crisfield which is know for both its seafood and tourism."
